June 2016 Newsletter
REFLECTIONS FROM YOUR PTSA
A LOOK BACK:
- Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Book Swap a great success. We appreciate all the volunteers and attendees. Congratulations to Marley & Lance, the winners of the summer fun gift baskets!
- We had a very busy year assisting our schools and community. Take a peek at this list of our donations in time, event planning and money. None of this could have been possible without the help of YOU. Parents, grandparents, guardians, community members, educators, administrators and of course our students make what we do possible and we are thankful for each and every one of you.
LOOKING AHEAD:
- Congratulations to the Class of 2016! We wish them all a future filled with prosperity and happiness.
- We hope everyone enjoys a summer filled with laughter, relaxation, and fun. Be sure to keep the students reading and active in the community and we look forward to reuniting in the fall!
- If you have not yet become a PTSA member, please see the bottom of this newsletter for enrollment information. Membership is only $5 for the year and you will receive many benefits on a regional, state and national level. While we always appreciate involvement, becoming a member does not mean you have to volunteer! Just being an "official" PTSA member benefits our organization and enables us to do more for our students. Please consider a membership for the 2016-2017 school year. Thank you!

Volunteer Opportunities
We are in need of volunteers for various, ongoing services we provide to the schools.
- Laminating Projects- you make your own hours at the school. Training will be provided!
Event Chair needed!
Running an event is a fun way to get involved and bring your ideas to life! It's even more fun with a friend. The following event is in need of help:
- Mother/Son night chairperson: Traditionally held in the fall, but set the date when it works for you! This is a great event that brings in many families to spend quality time together, as well as raising funds for PTSA. Use our past "minute to win it" and craft format entirely, as a jumping off point, or add your own spin to things.
Please email CanandaiguaPTSA@gmail.com if you are interested in the position or for more information.
